Bug - Falling in Water and Sinking, Worm Considered "Alive"

While in this case the bug didn't stall the game, I saw another user report this bug and claim they were unable to continue the match.

Steps (my inputs):

- mount vehicle and drive on water
- spam F2 (I wanted to see if it's possible to select the jetpack and fly away before drowning)
- as the worm touches the water, it sinks, but remains in the falling pose. No drown animation plays.
- after a few seconds I press directional inputs. This seems to cause the game to consider the worm drowned/underwater and my turn ends.

So far I was unable to reproduce this bug.

Hey Krusher99,


Thanks for getting in touch to report this.
I've just had a go at reproducing this but didn't have any luck.
I don't suppose there is any detail missing from your steps, or a particular scheme that this works in?

If you have a link to the other report you've seen, please post it here. It will really help to have multiple accounts of the problem.


Thank you,

I don't think I've hit any other key by accident. It occured in a custom scheme with infinite round time and weapons for testing purposes.

This is the post that mentions the issue, though it's rather unspecific.

1) My last worm fell in the water. But he apparently stayed alive there! I couldn`t move or do anything. The game frozed.

Hey again Krusher99,


Thanks for getting back in touch with this information.
The post on that linked thread is very vague, but it does sound like the same issue.
I'll keep an eye out for this and escalate it if I get more reports.
In the meantime, please let me know if you experience this regularly.


Thank you,
